Originally from Florence, Italy, and based in Barcelona, Lorenzo Vecchia. Lorenzo has been professionally photographing architecture, interiors and still life for over ten years. In recent years commissioned to work with architects, interior designers, hotels, restaurants, the fashion industry and the luxury real estate market in both Spain and Italy. Lorenzo first seriously pursued photography at the end of 1999; from the beginning, took it extremely seriously – working on every single aspect of technique. At the same time, improving his background in art and visual communication. I’ve learned that good photography needs a lot of time: time for thinking, for planning, for staging, for waiting until the sunlight shines in the most complimentary way. And the passage of time is exactly what I try to communicate through my photography: I introduce it through the use of light and composition, integrating the set of pictures into a whole story so viewers will understand the space/time and make them feel like they are stepping into that space. That’s why I love to use a natural approach when I shoot architecture, spending some time walking through the house, observing how the house changes through the day and recording every single detail that provokes emotions […]

I’ve been photographing professionally since 2006, but I’ve been making art my whole life. I studied Art, Theatre and Set Design in getting my undergraduate degree, and afterwards focused more on Photoshop & digital art. Working as a photoshop retoucher for a travel photography company, I became enthralled with architectural photography. I’ve since photographed thousands of homes, installations and new developments, shooting for architects, developers, designers, stagers, and other contractors. I’m especially passionate about innovative, problem-solving architectural design, particularly as it relates to sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as the unconventional repurposing of materials. I’m hoping to work further on bringing awareness to these sorts of projects, wherever they exist. I love working in a field that puts all my knowledge of digital photography & composition, as well as my strong sense of objectivity & perfectionism to good use. Born in Victoria, BC, I currently reside near Vancouver, BC with my wife and two children, after briefly living in the US and Japan. When I’m not busy taking or processing photographs of buildings and interiors or artwork, I’m often out doing landscape photography or painting.
